Chelsea Clinton Is Honoring Mom Hillary with Her Latest Project

Chelsea Clinton is writing a book, and it’s basically a girl power battle cry. The former first daughter is coming out with a picture book titled She Persisted,a reference to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s comment about Elizabeth Warren that became a symbol of the women’s movement.

“I wrote this book for everyone who’s ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who’s ever been made to feel less than,” Clinton said in a statement, according to Entertainment Weekly.

According to EW, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton may also make a surprise appearance.

“The 13 women in She Persisted all overcame adversity to help shape our country—sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. With this book, I want to send a message to young readers around the country—and the world—that persistence is power.”
